taxa brought into synonymy above show minor differences in facies but have
identical male genitalia, with a distinctive feature of a strong cornutus in the
aedeagus vesica. The taxa xanthopera and cyclopis could be applied
at a subspecific level to S. Indian with Sri Lankan populations and Australasian
populations respectively.

tropics east to Solomons.

Habitat
preference. Material
taken on G. Kinabalu was mostly from a cultivated area with forest remnants at

Brunei.
